Weird, didn't seem to be a problem two years ago. Seems like it was considered a funny prank:

Then most Patriot fans were betting on the Patriots to not cover, obviously. Also I am not surprised that the first response is but but but look at someone else cheating

DON'T................FEED...............THE.............TROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I do find interesting, is, this type of juvenile bullshit stunt goes on all the time, but, this particular instance turns into national news...it takes a higher level dumb ass to pull a false alarm in this day and age...fackin' moron...

I completely agree. I do enjoy the vitriol and hypocrisy that occurs just because it's the Pats, but this really is pretty stupid as far as story lines go.

I could never understand why anyone would pull a fire alarm when I was young, so now it just seems completely moronic.

That said, though, even when it happened a couple of years ago, I thought it a bit humorous, albeit very stupid.

Quite frankly, I just can't wait for both games today; thinking they're both gonna be fun, close contests!

This kind of stuff sucks. I'd rather both teams be at their best when they play each other.

Well the stomach bug is going to hurt the Steelers and Packers. Atlanta Patriots Super Bowl is like picking between Hillary and Trump; Only the diehards are happy and most of America is sad.

Pretty coincidental, don't you think! Belichick had something to do with this stomach bug too.

Definitely. Fear lowers the body's immunity.

Agreed, between this dumbass stunt and the bug going around the Steelers locker room I feel bad for them. I'm sure they won't make any excuses and play their balls off but it's shitty going into a big game with stuff like that impacting them. Pats have been in the same boat in the past, both with the flu going around and with hotel stunts, shit happens. I remember in 2006 the AFCCG against Indy the Pats had an awful bug going around, their second half performance was horrible, they got manhandled and Indy made up a 2-TD deficit to go to the SB, I've always wondered how different the game might have been had that bug not been going around. Such is life.

I'm glad I'm not the only one voicing this concern

I have two rounds at the High West Distillery in Park City next week, plus a snow angel wearing only swim trunks on the line. My Pittsburg friend didn't even want the points.

Your Yinser friend is an idiot.

Your boy is going to be cold next week

you mean my boys boys are going to be cold next week;)
